Babybear Moderator Belgium 657 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 00:21:31 just a little idea that came in my mind, just want to hear what other people would say about it we all dislike people some people in the game, and we all want to make some money, so i figured this out, maybe their could be a bounty hunter npc, this is where you can put money on someone his head, if you don't like a certain person, let's say you don't like BabyBear, you can put a certain ammount off gold on her/his head, you can put as many times you want money on someones head, also different people can do it on the same person. at the npc you can also look on which persons there is a bounty, you can select some persons(let's say a max of 5) which you can hunt down for the money that's on their head, the first that kills this person, and accepted the job to kill him, will get all the money that was on his/hers head for that time when this happens, the person that was been killed will be removed of the bountylists of all the others that wanted to hunt him down, because the money has been allready given away. just tell me what you think about it BABO for YOU(r own good) It's more in what you do than in what you say

Disley Senior Member United Kingdom 1436 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 00:27:47 quite a sweet idea babybear, only thing is with the bounty it would be a bit pointless choosing the bounty, cos otherwise youd just pay very little gold it would have to be very expensive tho, and maybe u still get the pk if the NPC does kill them? just otherwise i might have about 15 NPCs chasin me round the world for no reason Ways To End A Bad Date How many kids shall we have? Would you like to hear your name in Klingon? Can we stop at the clinic? i need to pick up some results My alarm went off, that mean its time for my medication or yours?
wish New Member United Kingdom 54 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 00:28:50 yeah I was thinking about something on simmilar lines. Wanted to put bounties on peoples heads.... but there was no way of checking they did the job. So a NPC to help would be a cool idea.
Klasnikov Average Member 690 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 00:44:20 Nice idea, was actually something I was planning to do but never had enough time =/. Here's what I could do: Start up a Bounty Hunter webpage, where people can send in details of people they want to kill and I would post it up. This would include the target's name, guild, level and maybe even a picture and if you want a reason for killing him. The bounty will be judged on the person's level and reason for killing him. The higher the level the bigger the bounty the customer will have to provide. Naturally I couldn't do all the slaying myself, so I would hire bounty hunters who recieve most of the reward money plus a bonus if they do it within a certain time. Snapshots of the death must be taken as proof. If one death is not enough a certain number of slayings can be orderd, for example the target may have to be killed 5 times for the reward to be given (naturally the bounty would be 5 times greater than for just the one kill). If anyone's interested let me know, Bear if you like this idea lemme know we can talk it over if u want.

Babybear Moderator Belgium 657 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 00:50:42 the npc doesn't kill them, you only use it to put a bounty on someones had, and another player can accept to do the job and kill that person, and there probaly could be a minimum bounty of let's say 100k and yes their could be more as 50 players chasing you to get the money that is on your head. also if you kill the person after you accept the job, you won't get curse on your blade and you don't get yellow because you did it for the right reason, not just to pk BABO for YOU(r own good) It's more in what you do than in what you say
Disley Senior Member United Kingdom 1436 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 00:52:40 ah i understand now, sorry i got completely confused b4, but then what do u expect, it is christmas! ok so i guess thats a good idea Ways To End A Bad Date How many kids shall we have?

Asmodean Moderator Finland 3169 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 01:31:35 Shouldn't be able to put bounties on anyone except red peeps, IMO... Well, con-artists, etc are different, but how's the game gonna identify those... Merry Christmas!
Skidd Senior Member United Kingdom 1436 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 01:33:52 Be kool if there was an npc like "bobba fett" from star wars walking around killing pk's etc In-game name Surberous Know yourself and you will never be defeated in 100 battles
Babybear Moderator Belgium 657 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 01:35:45 everyone gots his own name it also gives the right name when you scroll over it, the right person also get the right whispers that are for him, so i don't think the problem will be to recognize the person and i don't think only redplayers could be, because most dropstealers aren't red and i think something like this would be in the game, there would be a way to punish them BABO for YOU(r own good) It's more in what you do than in what you say
Hawkwynde Junior Member United Kingdom 492 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 01:37:55 Sounds great in theory but there'd have to be a better sort of control system for the NPC or else, for example, you could have Chosen Heroes controlling Sabuk, raking in 1 million per day from revenue, and putting a huge bounty on Feroce (leader of CT) just for the hell of it. Bounty hunters generally hunt people to make them pay for crimes committed, with the suggested system it's more akin to taking out a contract on someone's life, and therefore open to much abuse. One control could be that should a player commit a murder (for whatever reason, we all pk drop stealers but then murder is murder), only then could someone be allowed to put a bounty on their head, and once the player is killed the slate is wiped clean and they have to commit another murder before the NPC will allow them to have a bounty placed on their head again. Another control could be put in place for drop stealers, whereby if a player picks up a drop before 60 seconds have elapsed from the death of the mob, and that player didn't actually kill the mob or wasn't grouped with the player that killed it, then it's counted as a drop steal and that player is open to having a bounty placed on their head. (Any drop then left on the ground for longer than 60 seconds becomes a 'finders keepers' drop). It could be programmed such that stolen items couldn't be sold, traded or given away, only used by the thief or given back as a bonus on top of the bounty. Shop and Training room PK is another matter. All they have to do to eradicate that is to make those areas safe zones again. (And pet free too to prevent illegal blocking of entrances, or the 'twat wizard block' as I like to think of it).
Skidd Senior Member United Kingdom 1436 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 01:44:15 I think this deserve a bump In-game name Surberous Know yourself and you will never be defeated in 100 battles
Disley Senior Member United Kingdom 1436 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 01:49:37 but what if 2 groups are fighting a WEB for example and it dies, and both groups are happy to share the drops. would they have to just defend it from theifs for the 60 seconds to make it fair? could become quite problematic that one drop theifs arent against the rules, we have to put up with them. im coping easier with the game now, i just take screenies of everyone pking or drop stealing, then decide what to do from there (i can always post some up of me dying if u want ) Ways To End A Bad Date How many kids shall we have?

AngelicDevil Junior Member 189 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 07:39:01 drop stealers assign a bounty for some1 holding rare items to kill him and take his drops, or some1 they just h8...etc bad idea
DiscoStu Junior Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 08:45:56 If I was put on a bounty list then: a) I wouldnt really care b) Get intentionally killed by a m8, thereby removing my name from the bounty list, and giving my m8 a nice sum of cash c) All of the above. ~~~ Cause its a bitter sweet symphony thats life Try to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die. I'll take you down the only road Ive ever been down You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet,yeah.
Humble1 Junior Member Canada 369 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 08:59:09 OMG... the concept might sound good, but think of the loop holes... All the rich ppl in MIR would literally own the poorer class. Can you imagine ppl like LaOMaN with that opportunity ??? Ugh... It's bad enough he makes ppl go red... what an arse that guy is...

Hexen Average Member USA 666 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 09:05:31 just be able to add a name plus some gold whenever you want someone on teh bounty list and then others can see that name and fi they want, they can add mor egold to the bounty, and the first person to kill the bounty goes to the npc and collects the gold and it starts over :) got to watch out though what if the bounty is high on someone and him and friends set up idea for the bounty to die and collect money.. me� punching �mir DAoC forum � www.improvise.f2s.com
Hally2k New Member 60 Posts	Posted - 12/26/2001 : 09:42:31 Dont really like the idea. Its based on PK which is pretty crap and if some 1 is acting like a idiot and puts ure name on then ppl pk you have a chance of dropping items which is not very nice... Need better ideas i think...
